This Peanut Slab Bar is a tasty chewy protein delight.

The start of this recipe is the same as my peanut butter balls and because those are so chewy, I was hoping to create a kind of chocolate brownie type texture using that as the base, without having to add a truckload of dates. And while it didn’t work for what I was attempting, this is nice enough to have its own identity.

One of my taste testers said, “it reminds me of that peanut slab bar.” And that’s how it got its name.

So, it’s chocolaty, decadent and kind of biscuit crunchy even though it’s raw and even though you keep it in the fridge. I can’t work it out, but I don’t care because it’s another winner!

Update 2024: The protein powder I eat now is a combination of whey protein and Peptan Collagen and it’s called 40UP – Collagen Protein Powder.

2019 Update: These days I follow a more Ray Peat inspired diet which is more about fresh fruit, protein, dairy and avoiding PUFA foods. Read more about this diet in my book the Zen Beach Diet.
